This was my second stay. The location is terrific and pedestrian friendly - short walks to beach, restaurants, fun bars, the historic water tower. A friendly and helpful staff. Free covered parking. Not disabled-friendly: no elevators and all rooms are on second and third floors with steep stairwells. Basic and not fancy - no pool, breakfast or other amenities. Right on PCH, so rooms on that side exposed to traffic noise. But a good value for the location and price. I am likely to return.

Nice Ocean Breeze

The room was just fine. Nothing spectacular. There isn’t a real ocean view anywhere but the breeze is nice. Beds we comfortable. The hotel is not close to any food so you will have to drive. Bring your own coffee. No elevator so you will climb steps. Everyone who works there is extremely kind and helpful.

This place is perfect for a weekend getaway. I wish there was more parking available when the motel is at full capacity, but still I would definitely come back. I appreciate the front desk's responsiveness and flexibility in allowing me to check-in late.

Checkin was easy. We even got a message regarding a possible power outage. Which did not effect us. Walkable to the beach and amazing restaurants. Was perfect for our one night stay. There are no elevators which was stated in the description of the Hotel. That was not a problem for us at all. The water pressure for the shower was not great but it did have a nice temperature for all 4 of our family to have a nice warm shower. I would recommend for a short beach trip.

Pros: Room is very Clean Bed was confortable Close to restaurants and grocery store Staff are friendly and helpful Cons: Room was noisy both from traffic on the PCH and upstairs guests stomping around in their room above. Not pedestrian friendly due to a lack of sidewalks in immediate vicinity of the hotel.
